Pre Op Liquid Diet...really?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I'm doing my pre op liquid diet. 4 bottles of slim fast high Protein Shakes, some veggies and a handful of fruit. Seriously??? Is it me? I am soooo hungry! These bottles of slim fast are so small! I don't want to mess up but I feel like I could eat my arm!!! Any suggestions??? I'm trying to fill up on water....

At least you can eat veggies and fruit, most people are on liquid only!!

Keep drinking the Water (it's a great tummy filler) and just put your mind to it. This pre-op diet is leading up to a huge change for you that will be worth the effort you can put in now! I wasn't on a pure liquid pre-op diet, but my pre-op was tough! I am proud to say I didn't cheat once in the 10 days required - I kept my mind focused on the prize!

I can't eat fruit but I can eat 5 oz of lean Protein at night with my veggies. I am on day three and it gets better. Not great but better...hang in there

The first four or so days of the preop diet are miserable. Make it through those and things will be fine afterwards.

Are these the Slim Fast shakes you're drinking? chocolate.aspx" rel="external nofollow">http://www.slim-fast.com/products/shakes/Creamy-Milk-Chocolate.aspx

If so, 18g of sugar is obscene!

Slim fast also has High Protein shakes that only have 3 g of sugar. This are the ones I am using. The others I bought one time by accident and they make you hungrier lol

@ShelPrice...I am doing much better. Thanks. I took everyone's advice I am totally in the zone right now. I just came from a retirement dinner (paid $50 for the ticket) and all I drank was Water. The buffet was huge AND they had an amazing dessert table. It didn't phase me one bit because the cost of the ticket is not worth me risking a delay in my surgery! I just focused on the fellowship...not the food!

@Kami and Don....I am using the high Protein Shakes. I pretty much stick with the chocolate and I increased my Water. That helps! I try to be proactive and drink the shakes BEFORE I get hungry because when I get hungry my mind starts to wander... lol

Be thankful you get those veggies! A lot of people only get shakes. 150 oz of Water a day kept me sane.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
